And, Bob, you're observation about "Midway" makes me think of "Carnival in Kenora" - "one kiss can sometimes make you feel like a spinning ferris wheel". At the same time, I'm thinking of Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain" - "with the barkers and the colored balloons" Joni, of course, responded with "Circle Game" - "and the painted ponies go up and down, we're captive on a carousel of time" I see a real carnival/amusement park theme here - and it's one Joni continues up to recently with "Harlem in Havana." Sorry if I don't have the quotes exact - I'm just being too lazy to go look them up. lots of love Anne ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 09:08:49 EST From: Artheobeat@aol.com Subject: Re: what is folk music? njc OK, I'll take a swing at this. Folk music at it's root development, seemed to be music, played acoustically, that retold a story (usually fact, sometimes parable-like fiction) for the purpose of enlightening the listener, raising a social or moral awareness, and at the same time offering entertainment. Early folk songs were often originally ad-libbed, and lived to be passed along in an oral, non-written tradition. Folk music appears to exist on every continent, among every race and/or nationality, and in almost every time period. It is likely the first 'music' category or type to have ever existed, save the very early percussive music's (?) that were used for basic communication or 'warning' purposes. What the hell folk music is today is anybody's guess. When Dylan plugged in, I guess the definition of what is folk music began to expand exponentially.

Undoubtedly there are varying opinions especially among the Irish people themselves. But as 1/4 Irish myself I felt moved to post this. Marcel How St. Patrick Changed the World By Lawrence Morahan CNS Senior Staff Writer March 16, 2001 (Editor's note: Portions of this article were published previously by the author.) (CNSNews.com) - America does not, as a rule, celebrate the lives of saints, although many consider former presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to be in that category. An exception is made every March 17, however, when Americans turn out to celebrate the life of a mystic called Patrick, who lived 15 centuries ago, over 3,000 miles from these shores. It's often pointed out that March 17 celebrations have little to do with the saint's life. Today's festivities follow a tradition established in the late 19th century when the Irish, who had known discrimination as immigrants, celebrated their newfound influence on American politics with colorful parades that brought U.S. cities to a standstill. For others, St. Patrick's Day is a substitute for South American "Carnival" or the German "Fasching" celebrations, a time of drinking and dancing in the streets. The fact is the real Patrick is a hard act to follow and probably not an inspiration to the revelers. Little written evidence has survived from Patrick or from 5th century Ireland. But Thomas Cahill, a former religion editor at Doubleday, gives a rich insight into Patrick and his times in his recent book, "How The Irish Saved Civilization." According to Cahill's research, Patrick was a 16-year-old "Romanized Celtic Briton" living in modern-day Wales when he was kidnapped by Irish pirates and sold into slavery in pagan Ireland. The year was around 400 A.D. and the last garrison of Roman soldiers was getting ready to evacuate Britain to return to defend the Eternal City against increasing attacks by barbarians. The Romans had never sailed as far as Ireland, and the country in which Patrick, or Patricius, now found himself was a curious mixture of rough justice and spiritual hunger. Slavery was a fact of life in Ireland and human sacrifices to pagan gods were the order of the day. With the help of constant prayer, Patrick endured six years of isolation and physical hardship as a sheepherder and emerged, in Cahill's words, "a holy man, indeed a visionary for whom there was no longer any rigid separation between this world and the next." On his last night in slavery, a voice told Patrick his ship was ready, and he walked 200 miles in dangerous, unfamiliar territory to the coast where he found a vessel preparing to set sail for the continent. After years of study, probably on the island monastery of Lerins, just offshore from present-day Cannes, Patrick returned to Ireland as a bishop in 432. In the remaining 30 years of his life, he transformed a fear-driven, superstitious society into an "Island of Saints and Scholars." Patrick converted the Irish primarily through the power of example. "Patrick held out to these warrior children, in his own person, a living alternative," Cahill says. He showed how it was possible to be brave "and yet be a man of peace and at peace." Patrick weaned the Irish away from slavery. "Only a former slave could have condemned the slave trade with such heat," Cahill said, and called Patrick "the first human being in the history of the world to speak out unequivocally against slavery." Patrick was a peacemaker who made Ireland "unique in religious history for being the only land into which Christianity was introduced without bloodshed." Thus began Ireland's golden age of learning. Patrick's missionary work not only saved the Irish, but ushered in an era that proved pivotal in the history of Western civilization. At "the Roman lands went from peace to chaos, the land of Ireland was rushing even more rapidly from chaos to peace," Cahill says. Students from the continent, many fleeing the barbarians, were drawn by the thousands to Irish monasteries and centers of learning. The monks produced many countless works of art, including The Book of Kells, and in Britain, The Lindisfarne Gospels, which appeared centuries later. In time, the Irish monks themselves set out on voyages of conversion. By the end of the 6th century, 60 monastic communities had been founded around the coast of Scotland. Irish monks and their students established monasteries throughout Europe, in key centers such as Trier, Wuerzburg, Regensburg, Saint Gall and Bobbio, to name but a few. Thus Patrick was a man for all races and all times. His life changed the world - which might help to explain the enduring popularity of St. Patrick's Day celebrations. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 12:28:15 EST From: Jodcrazee@aol.com Subject: joni and adolescence Joni Mitchell and booze got me through adolescence ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 09:45:40 -0800 From: "Mark or Travis" Subject: Fw: Washington Warning njc Then again there's this perspective.

Anyways thursday around 1:30pm I picked my new best friend jbro and her manager (Pat) up at the airport. It was so easy to talk to her and we hit it off very well from the beginning. She is so much younger looking in person. I feel like her pictures on the albums maker her look older or more mature looking. Her eyes are amazing! She has a real mischievous look to her. We hung out most of the afternoon and after I got them checked into the hotel I took them to meet a local PD for a radio station. Most of the time Jonatha (riding shotgun and Pat in the back on the cell phone constantly) and I were gabbing it up about guitars and the VG-8 and the whole music biz in general. She has an incredible understanding of then whole music biz scene and I think that will benefit her in the future. She is really digging this album and is VERY excited about the DVD project that is coming out. I played Kate Bennetts CD while we were riding around as well as Tommy Malone's (formally of subdudes and Tiny Town) forthcoming CD, as well as the new Dave Matthew's. She is a music junkie like the rest of us. I told her about how much she has had a impact on the JMDL and that was how I discovered her music and what led me to contact her office to get her Jukebox. She thought that was very sweet and was very flattered. She said she had talked to friends of mine all over the country and remembered the situation with Penny and remembered Nikki asking about Louisiana JukeBox and getting me the Story CD (which I LOVE hi Nikki!). I asker her about her background in Boston and told her about the forthcoming JoniFest in Topsfield. She was intrigued about it and asked if Joni would be there. I told her this is the year we expect her to show up so she should come too. She starts her tour soon so i don't know if it would be possible, but if everyone sends emails inviting her, who knows, she came to my little TV show lol. I dropped her off at the hotel for a nap and change of guitar strings and I went on to the show to do my thing. She arrived just after nine and started tuning up. We went through her set for rehearsal and I was positively captivated. She sang Linger, Digging, and Red Dress. She is so incredible solo and I am so proud of the actual sound quality that came across on the performance. I asked her if she would please play another song for me after the show was over. She will be back here in June to play a concert and I told them I would run that clip to promote that event. She asked which one and I of course asked for my faves Always or Because I Told You So. She chose the latter. After hearing her sing the entire crew was pumped up about the show and dug her alot. I invited several friends to come sit in the audience and check her out, which they did. She made alot of eye contact with me and I DO believe I am still melted into several blobs on the floor of the studio. The LIVE show went off great and she was flawless. Her interview with Nikki was great and I think she is so real with NO phoniness about her at all. Everyone loved her and enjoyed the set very much. Of course everyone was kidding me and throwing jabs at me cause I was so taken with her, but "What Me Worry??" I can't help it if i am a music slut. Anyways it was all over to soon and before I knew it I was driving them back to the hotel to get to sleep (they had a 5am flight). She signed my picture and CD and gave me a big hug and thanks. We agreed to stay in touch and I am going to send her some patches for the VG-8. I can't wait till she comes back here with the band. If you are NOT a fan yet, I strongly urge you to go out and get some of her work and if you are in the Cleveland, Austin, or Memphis areas, check her out on Louisiana JukeBox on this weeks show (check out our website for times etc. www.louisianajukebox.com . It might help to send emails to her requesting them to put the videos up on HER site. I will post a few pictures from the show on the jonimitchellfans site right away! Check out our new set! That's about it. I hope everyone has a nice weekend and thanks to all for all the good wishes. I plan to spend the afternoon playing some music with one of my oldest friends. I am SO blessed and am truly thankful for all my blessings, especially my jmdl tribe.

Nice work if you can get it. I can't wait to see the vid, and my buds, the D'Ampibians, are going to be stoked about your new set when they do your Lousiana Jukebox during jazzfest. I can't wait to see your digs. (What other jmdlers are going to jazzfest in New O, btw?) Lol! This is one of my favorite phenomena. Whenever I tell the unitiatiated about our Jonifests, they invariably ask if Joni will be there. It's always a struggle to keep from laughing when I say "well, she's invited, you never know..." Oh, Michael, um, I'm glad you enjoyed being so close to JB...enjoy it while you can. But when she comes to the Fillmore in SF on April 1...that's *my* house. She'll be all mine. :~p - -Julius ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 21:51:00 -0500 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: HOSL cover (again)...NJC I went to the newsstand today to buy a copy of "Q", the British music magazine. They had the March 2001 issue but the story of "The Top 200 Album Covers" isn't in the March issue (with Screaming Street Preachers on the cover). I went to the biggest library in town and researched the National Geographic Magazine's articles about the Amazon. I couldn't find the photo that inspired the cover of The Hissing Of Summer Lawns. The library's Nat Geo's Index pointed me to: March '64 pp.737-758 October '72 pp.456 -495 November '77 pp.675 - 719 and January '79 pp.60 - 83 Can anyone give me the exact issue and page? When I got home, I did some digging and found that THOSL came out in '75. She could not have been inspired by a photo published any later. (I think someone said that the Nat Geo picture was published in '77.) In addition, I'm looking for the photographer's name to include in my research. Thanks, Lama ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 20:55:21 -0600 From: Mark Domyancich Subject: Shadows and Light video Hey everyone- Could someone please tell me what the legal status is on this one? Is the VHS out of print, is the rerelease with the extra footage commercially available (as a Japanese import, last I heard)? I know the DVD has been released but I'm not sure about the VHS. Would someone be so kind as to make a copy of it for me for b&p? I'd also be willing to do a couple of CDs... well, maybe. I've been way too busy lately so I might have to do blanks. After all these years I still haven't seen this video and I think about it often. Let me know if you can help me out! Thanks, Mark NP-Rickie Lee Jones, 11/11/91, Guthrie Theater - Sat.

I'm finally back in NYC after 8 weeks of touring the country with the show I'm in. So glad to be back. While on the road, I met and fell in love with HOSL, which I was sort of grappling with before I left. Now I love it, as I knew I would. Can anyone shed some light on Edith and the Kingpin for me? Does anyone know any history/trivia on this song and why it was written and if it's about someone in particular. Any and all opinions are welcome! Let's talk about Joni!!! I was away with non-Joni fans and am starving for some good talk about her and why we love her! : ) tanya in nyc ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 20:31:37 -0800 (PST) From: Brian Gross Subject: Things You'd Like To Say At Work...(njc) Thanks to Mags for passing this one along to me I'll start using these in the office on Monday :-) Brian Things You Can't Say At Work but Wished you Could 1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit. 2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. 3. How about never? Is never good for you? 4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. 5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way. 6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter. 7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message. 8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant. 9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying. 10. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again... 11. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid. 12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. 13. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn. 14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth. 15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you. 16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point-of-view. 17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist. 18. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. 19. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!? 20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. 21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off. 22. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial. 23. And your crybaby whiny-butt opinion would be...? 24. Do I look like a people person? 25. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting. 26. I started out with nothing and still have most of it left. 27. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. 28. If I throw a stick, will you leave? 29. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. 30. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed. 31. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. 32. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door. 33. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1? 34. Too many freaks, not enough circuses. 35. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it? 36. Chaos, panic, and disorder - my work here is done. 37. How do I set a laser printer to stun? 38. I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted pay checks. ===== "No paper thin walls, no folks above No one else can hear the crazy cries of love" yeah, right Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

First tell us what show you happen to be TOURING with and then we'll talk. All professional and semi-professional artists need to register at the door.

But instead of going for the usual CDs, I decided to play some albums I haven't touched for a while, and while doing so, thought of a question. What artists/albums do you own, that are the furthest removed from Joni? A lot of us have similar tastes apart from Joni, eg. CSN, James Taylor, etc. but what are the dark secrets you have hidden away?! I think the answers could be very interesting! I'll get the ball rolling: My five artists/albums most "different" from Joni: Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menial Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik Skunk Anansie - Stoosh The Verve - Urban Hymns Def Leppard - Hysteria I also have a lot of Kiwi music which is pretty different from Joni, but no one here will have heard of it!

This actually has been a long time goal of mine and it was a major accomplishment for me. Unfortunately, I know of no Joni music set to an aerobic or step aerobic beat and not even sure if there is any Joni song that lends itself to an eight count (or 32 count) repeating beat, so if anyone can make a suggestion here, I'd appreciate it!
